But Beck ramped up his criticism this week on Fox News and his radio show, making
comments about how Soros survived in Nazi-occupied Hungary that have provoked
denunciations from Jewish organizations.

Beck said
on the radio Wednesday that Sorosas a 13-year-old Jewish boy, living apart from
his parents in order to avoid apprehension by the Nazis"used to go around with
this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then
ship them off. It was frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews
to the death camps."

Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League and a Holocaust
survivor, called Beck's comments "completely inappropriate, offensive and over the
top." [See update]

"While I, too, may disagree with many of Soros' views and analysis on the issues,
to bring in this kind of innuendo about his past is unacceptable," Foxman
said.Â "To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during
the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant."

Soros has spoken publicly about how he escaped the death camps by posing as a member of
a Christian family. The teenager did accompany his protector, whose job was to confiscate
property from Jews in Nazi-occupied Hungary.

Steve Kroft, in a 1998 "60 Minutes" interview, told Soros that it sounded
like "an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many,
many years." But Soros said that he doesn't feel guilty for what happened because
"whether I was there or not, I was only a spectator; the property was being taken
away."

Beck, who on Tuesday described Soros' actions in the 1940s on Fox News, also claimed
not to be "making a judgment" and acknowledged that the teenage Soros "was
surviving."

Fox News defended Beck on Thursday in a statement to the New York Times.

Joel Cheatwood, a senior vice president at Fox News, told
the Times that "information regarding Mr. Soros's experiences growing up were
taken directly from his writings and from interviews given by him to the media, and no
negative opinion was offered as to his actions as a child."

It's not the first time Cheatwood has defended Beck this year before over comments
relating to the Holocaust.

Simon Greer, chief executive of the liberal Jewish Funds for Justice, told The Upshot
at the time that Ailes and Cheatwood acknowledged that Beck crossed a line when
comparing Greer's views to those of the Nazis. Greer praised Ailes and Cheatwood,
saying that "they took things very seriously, and I have a lot of respect for
that."

Greer said in August that after his meeting with Fox News executives, Beck sent him a
handwritten note regarding the discussion with Cheatwood and that he intended to keep the
message private. But because of Beck's latest Holocaust remarks, Greer is now revealing
the contents of the letter. It reads: "Simon, Joel shared the details of your meeting
yesterday. Please know that I understand the sensitivity and sacred nature of this dark
chapter in Human History. Thank you for your candor and helpful thoughts."

Greer's organization has also been critical of Beck this week. In a statement, Greer
said that Beck had "grotesquely" mischaracterized Soros' experience hiding from
the Nazis and is now "engaged in a form of Holocaust revisionism."

By phone, Greer reiterated that he hadn't intended to reveal the contents of Beck's
letter. But for Greer, Beck's remarks about Soros "made a mockery of whatever
sensitivity he's claimed he has had." Since he's "trying to attack a 13-year-old
as sending his people to death camps," Greer said, "I don't owe him any debt to
keep the communication personal."

A Fox News spokeswoman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Government it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism,
their loyalty to family traditions and national identification" Brock Chisholm - Director of the World Health Organization

"A society whose citizens refuse to see and investigate the facts, who refuse to
believe that their government and their media will routinely lie to them and fabricate a
reality contrary to verifiable facts, is a society that chooses and deserves the Police
State Dictatorship it's going to
get." Ian Williams Goddard

The fact is that "political
correctness" is all about creating uniformity. Individualism is one of the biggest obstacles in the way of
the New World Order. They want a
public that is predictable and conditioned to do as it's told without asking questions.
